As most of you know, I'm not the most social of people and I quite enjoy my own company, as opposed to the company of others. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends, but I also love pottering about my house cleaning, dusting, staring at the walls etc. So, at the risk of becoming more of a hermit, I am going to conduct a social experiment, which may end up being an anti-social exercise.
After my holiday, I am finally going to stop drinking alcohol. The only times that I will drink alcohol are with a meal (limited to one glass of wine) or at a wedding (that's you Toes). As a preamble to my intended experiment, I have been asking my friends the following question:
"Do you have any friends that don't drink?"
The most common answer I've received is "None that jump to mind."
My slowly breeding point is that friends that don't drink are not at the top of one's mind. They are, in fact, acquaintances, with whom a night out is something more to be feared than relished. I intend to try and prevent such a fate for myself, hence proving that a non-drinker can have as much fun as a drinker, and the non-drinker's drinker friends can cope with keeping a non-drinker friend at the top of their mind.
I'll keep you updated with my experiment, if the need arises, and until then I will be embarking on an evening out tonight, where I will drink...all for the sake of being social.
